Widening Circles
"Widening Circles" composed by Jason Moore
Performed by MeHim (shoutout, cicadas!)
MeHim ( @MeHimBand ) are @MikeHolstein and @JasonJamesMoore
I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?
-Rainer Maria Rilke

Immunization 3/22/21
Переглядів 923 роки тому
Here I am improvising in the new rig and finding my way for all to see. I love this stuff. Even when it doesn't work. Practicing is kind of like getting a vaccine. It doesn't guarantee you'll avoid mistake or misfortune, but hopefully it diminishes the chances.

How I use a tuner for saxophone practice.

Here are some strategies to using a tuner in your saxophone practice. After making this video, I thought of several other things that I'd like to say about playing in tune. I'll probably follow up with something soon.

Does your saxophone speak an octave too high? Try this!
Переглядів 3,9 тис.3 роки тому
This is a simple exercise that I learned from one of Joe Allard's students. Mr. Allard called this 2 to 1 (2nd partial to fundamental). Try this if your notes have been speaking higher than you intend them to, or just as a tone building exercise. Sometimes, we have to approach the saxophone as a machine that wants certain things. It's not terribly musical, but it will help us to be so in the fu...

Simple Saxophone Articulation Exercise
Переглядів 2083 роки тому
Here's a great exercise that I use in my own practice, and with my students. The idea behind it is to position all of our different articulations along a spectrum from more - less sensitive. We start by touching the reed, but not stopping it. Impeding but not interrupting. We increase our tongue's influence on the reed over time. Try this for a while and let me know how it changes the way you i...
Losing Focus isn't failure FB

Here's an excerpt from a recent lesson with one of my students. Maybe you'll relate. Give yourself permission. Losing focus isn't a failure. Losing it implies that you had it, and that you're building your ability to exist in that space. Sick!

      Oh most definitely. The voicing (volume/shape of the cavity inside the mouth and throat) is a good bit smaller on clarinet. I'm generalizing for comment brevity but that's the gist.

      Yes! Long story short, keep it up with these exercises. Coming from clarinet, it is very likely that you are voicing too high. watch my whole playlist on tone production. It's a bit nerdy, but the ideas there will almost surely help. Best of luck!

The silver tenor has an all metal mouthpiece which I’ve been using. The metal mouthpiece with the brass tenor. Musical context... i’ve just been playing along by ear with ‘Canon in D’, and a version of ‘Marriage d’Amour’. I’m finding some sweet silky tones but not consistently.
